login problem
 

when i am going to login in quotauser(user name) i m geting a message called

your session only lasted less than 10 seconds.If you Have not logged out yourself this could mean that there is some installation problem or that you may be out of diskspace.try logging in with one of the failsafe sessions to see if you can fix this problem.

view details ( /.xsession.errors.file ).

note :i configured quota to this user

So show us the configs, and pls provide us with the other information too that we'll need to help troubleshoot your problem - i.e., are you really telling us that you're trying to login to a Windows XP machine where you've configured quotas for a user called *quotauser*????

Because that's what your browsers user agent says your running when you ask these questions. If so, you should ask those questions in a windows forum or rummage through technet.

If not, we're going to need a bit more than just your word that you configured something, leaving us to guess what you're running and what went wrong.

I am going to login in linux machine only and quotauser is a user in linux pc when he is going to login it showing message

i set quota to qutauser
and file is below

Disk quotas for user quotauser (uid 514):
Filesystem blocks soft hard inodes soft hard
/dev/sda5 112 600000000 600000000 14 0 0

Any Update???

Let's not login via X. login via console, switch to runlevel 3 (If this is a redhat box) or ssh like so:

Does this work for you? And if not, make sure that another non-priviliged user can login. Check and see by trying to login as one of the users in your /etc/passwd below, i.e., user0 or user1...

And what happens when you login as root, open a terminal, and then:


Paste any errors you receive and from your logfiles in /var/log... at your favorite pastebin or here if you like:

http://codepad.org/

Understood.

So... /home is mounted on the /dev/sda5 partition? Are you sure?

And do you need group quotas too? Because if all you need are user level quotas then you can remove the other.

What does /etc/mtab say? please post it so we can see.

This is a redhat box? Yes or no. What version?


qutauser? or quoatauser?

And what filename are you talking about above? /home/quota.user or /home/aquota.user ??? This is important because redhat changed the file that is used for this.

Paste the output from the following commands:

aquota.user should be chmod'd to 600 and owned by root:root

You're sure about this? What command did you run or file did you cat for this?

What else have you edited?

Can this user logon after running quotaoff? Did you run quotaon?

One thing I want to make sure of is that /dev/sda5 is where /home is mounted and not on some other partition. Output from some of the commands I'm asking you to run and post results from should clarify this.

I hope that helps and it should keep you busy for a while ;)

Kindest regards,
